Goa’s beaches have attracted visitors from all over the world. Each stretch of sand kissed gently by the azure waters of the Arabian Sea has its own character, inviting some to party, and inviting others to relax. It’s a well-known fact that North Goa’s beaches are the more eventful, lively, and busier beaches, which means those who are looking for something more peaceful invariably end up travelling down south. The further you go, the more peaceful it usually gets, and for a long time, Palolem as been one of those beaches where tranquillity was your reward for a 2-hour journey from the north. The white sands and crystal clear waters have been home to many tourists over the years looking for simplicity. Luxury boarding and fine dining was not even an option – though all of that is about to change now that the Sobit Sarovar Portico has opened its doors in Goa.

A taste of luxury

Located just 500 metres away from Palolem beach, Sobit Sarovar Portico aims to promote tourism in the area and offer high-quality service and stay options. The property, launched by Mr. Amit Prabhu, Owner of Prabhu Realtors, and Ajay Bakaya, Managing Director, Sarovar Hotels & Resorts, is one of 78 hotels across India and Africa managed by Sarovar Hotels and Resorts. 

Spread across 5500 square metres, Sobit Sarovar Portico has 48 well-appointed deluxe rooms encased beautifully by quaint architecture that reflects Goa’s history and culture. Intricate woodwork, hand-selected art and sleek lines showcase a blend of Goan and Indo-Portuguese styles. Throughout the hotel, paintings by Pravin Solanke and other art narrate the tale of Goa’s heritage, culture, landscapes, events and daily life.

Each of the 48 identical rooms is furnished with the latest luxuries – no expense has been spared. From a refreshing rain shower in the bathroom complete with organic personal care amenities to the flat-screen TVs presented sans ugly cables and receiver boxes, everything aspect of the room has been planned carefully and thoughtfully. Guests will find that even the plug points on the walls include USB outlets for devices, and free WiFi really need not be mentioned. The sit-out balconies overlook the crystal clear pool and is the perfect alternative to the room’s two-seater couch if a bit of fresh air is required.
